P1000 And So It Begins....

[chipolariverman]

Finally was able to pick up my 2020 P1k3 base model today.

Parts here already; Strong Made Stick Stoppers Front & Rear, DPI Marine INC DPF912 Flush Series Doors for the under-driver’s seat storage. Picked up a factory used roof like new for $200.

Parts on order; Tough Country deluxe front bumper(6-8 weeks out, ouch), MotoAlliance VIPER Elite UTV Winch 6000lb- 65 feet rope, Wireless Remote, 814 shocks/spring, ½” thick UHMW skid plate one piece Factory UTV, Mud-Buster Fender Flares

Whats to come; dual battery set-up along with fuse and dash panel switches, lights (interior, front, rear). Some type of windshield, looking at the flip up SATV but my concern is I run some rough/tight trails and sometimes just out through the woods and I am concerned about ripping this thing off. Going to move my Tusk Terrabites 28x10x14 with bead locks over from my other machine to this one.

I am not good about tracking a build but I will try to on this one.

Looks like you are doing it right! I have wished many times that I had done nothing to mine until I had ALL the accessories planned out before starting.

U stole that roof. Good find. Ive beat the s*** out of my superatv windshiled and have very few scratches. Most of the scratches are from a flop on my side. I forgot to close it when they tried to pull me upright and it dug into the ground. I felt lucky it didn't damage it .

Welcome from WA. You will want to get as many of the electrical add ons as possible before you start because wiring becomes messy.

2nd Battery, Isolator, Fuse box, Lights, streetkit, underlights, whips, the list goes on and on.

Yep, I am not looking forward to that part of the build. Not real good with wiring. Been reading some of the post on the different setups everyone has.

Just happened to find it on FB and it was about an hour away so not too bad of a drive considering the price.

Well I got the "break-in" done yesterday afternoon. I've got to set my clock. Just road some dirt roads but it was a good ride.

Alright!!! Look what just showed up. Very happy considering when I ordered it last week I was told it was 6-8 weeks out.

I love that bumper for alot of reasons.

 

[chipolariverman]

So I have a question for the guys that have the Tough Country front bumper. Should I cut some air holes and cover them with expanded metal to allow more air flow into the radiator area?

I am most likely going to install the Spal high capacity fan and do the fan override switch for the fan.

What are yalls thoughts on this?

Did he fall in?

No. I jumped to rear tire, then to front tire, then to bumper. Threw my buddy the winch cable. Then back off the way I got on. Not bad for a fatass. That was my son buried. I love the top mount winch bumpers.

I've had this bumper on the 3 seater that my son drives for the last 800 miles. I make him watch the temperature gauge like a hawk and he's not had any issues with it running any hotter than it did before. I know some people have had issues but we haven't yet. I have the slasher bumper on my 5 seater. It will go 3 bars on a long steep pull. I like the tough country bumper the best.
